#just a completely selfish character

[kennyomegasweave]

Ray is the worst character on this show and I hate this man like he poisoned my water supply and burned my crops. I don't even care.

This man is looking right in Sand's sad eyes and saying "but you make me happy" while still pretending Mew wants him and stringing Sand along as a backup option. He’s the worst kind of person you fall for in your early adult years because they don’t love anyone but themselves, but can fool you just enough that you fall for it every time, then hate yourself for falling for the obvious bullshit.

He really was out here trying to have Sand do his mandatory community service. I know he said he’d be there, but he wouldn’t be the one teaching the kids, which he even admitted. He’d just be sitting there watching Sand, probably after pregaming before, with doe eyes because he’s never actually worked a day in his life. He doesn’t respect Sand or his time in any way at all. He’s a spoiled brat that uses his daddy’s money, or whatever and whoever he can, to get his way.

I want to sit him down and tell him “Mew doesn’t want to fuck you. He’s only entertaining you because he’s heartbroken over Top. You pretending he wants to be with you because he’s constantly drunk and doing lines with you, when you know he has a problem with your drinking and the fact that you even do coke, is absolutely pathetic. And imagine doing all that, having Mew blackout drunk and high, and him still not wanting to fuck you? Embarrassing. He only even kissed you because he wanted to hurt Top and your stupid ass thought you won something. It would be sad if it wasn't so pathetic.” 

And if you thought this man couldn’t get worse, Mew’s been drunk for weeks (maybe? Ray's arm is fine and he's already been convicted of his DUI) at this point, is high for the first time, and puking in the sink, and where the fuck is Ray, who always so loudly and self righteously proclaims he’s the only person that really loves Mew, to take care of him? Forcing himself onto Sand and wrecking his shit because he’s an adult toddler that wants all his toys to only belong to him. And remember kids, he didn’t just cockblock Sand and forcibly kiss him while Sand struggled to push him away, he also called him a whore for the FOURTH time. I fucking hate him. Though I’m proud Sand FINALLY stood up for himself, even just a little bit, because Ray isn’t worth ANY of this sadness and drama. He’s not that cute, his hair is uneven, and he looks dusty.

Ray’s selfish actions, in having coke at all, being so fucking sloppy he's strung out on a couch at a party, and stringing Sand along for months, almost got Sand arrested. I hope everyone that wants this relationship to happen acknowledges that because god knows Sand, and the show, won’t. If Top didn’t bribe the cop, they both would have been arrested and we all know Sand has no money for any type of lawyer or bribe. So slow clap it out for Ray's complete selfishness. And what did Sand get after all that? Ray passed out alone, happily hugging a pillow.

Everyone calls him a burden because he is. He refuses to do a damn thing to change because he doesn’t actually hate his life all that much. And why would he? He’s a spoiled pampered young man that drags everyone (Sand, Mew, Cheum) down with him. And then he sobers up the next day and does it all over again. His daddy’s money always keeps him protected from any real consequences, because that DUI sentence was a slap on the wrist. Hell, even Top’s money protected him because he should have been arrested. And we all know if the tables were flipped, he would have let Top get carted off without a second thought for how that would hurt Mew. Because he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. 

In conclusion:

#only friends #only friends the series #I'm a mentally ill addict that's been 5150'd more than once and tried to off myself multiple times #I've never been sober for more than three months since I was 17 #my dad has got me out of all the trouble I've ever gotten into as much as he can #so believe me when I say Ray fucking sucks #just a completely selfish character #it's been 8 episodes and he's shown no growth or even regression #he's still there blaming everyone else for his problems while dragging everyone down #if Khaotung wasn't playing him y'all would have a lot more to say on his PEAK assholeness #which is hilarious cause even Khao is like yeah Ray fucking sucks lol #regular clyde

Can we like. Stop projecting modern day western class discussions into mdzs. Or better yet stop talking about class altogether since so many of you are clearly ill prepared for it.

I love mdzs for how complicated and different it is from what I'm used to and seeing all of that get whittled down into the same old tired money/power = bad when it is so much more than that. It's a completely different system and culture. Western capitalist critiques isn't going to cut it people.

#jiang cheng #mdzs #This applies to many more character but I am the most familiar with his brand of discourse #I am completely in wei wuxian's side regarding saving the wens #Although I think he could have handled that way better #But if jiang cheng chose to save the wens at the risk of yunmeng jiang. I would not have been at his side #Jiang cheng's decision doesn't just affect him #it affects a whole sect #People depending on him #Why is this so hard to understand? Why is jiang cheng selfish for choosing to protect the people under him? #Shockers. Being responsible for a large group of people means there are thing you just can't do even if it is the right thing #Reputation is in fact important. Isn't mdzs partly about that? Isn't that one of the things that killed wei wuxian? #Anyways I love you characters straining under the weight of their duties and responsibilities #They can never make me hate you #meta analysis

[lloydfrontera]

love how realistic lloyd's survival instinct is, he doesn't even try to hide how much he really, really wants to live and how very against dying he is, like he really hates the idea of self-sacrifice and he's not shy about it lol. partially because it makes it all the more heartwarming when he goes against that instinct in order to protect the people he loves cause he cares more about them than he cares about his own safety. but also because it gives us lloyd deciding to risk his life to give javier a chance to live bc he just realized javier is his friend and he cares a lot about him,,,, only to come face to face with the bone dragon and then he starts asking himself if having friends is really worth it actually like does he really need them after all?? like he's so real for that lmao

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #he's so funny i love him <3333 #he's not perfect or absolutely selfless or completely altruistic #he wants to live and be happy and not have to sacrifice himself for others #and he's afraid and angry and upset when he thinks he's about to die #but... he still risks his life he still puts himself in peril he still puts himself between danger and those he loves #he'll avoid it at all costs if he can but if he doesn't he still does it #and i think that just makes him all the most lovable <3 #i just have a thing about characters that are afraid and a little selfish and a bit unkind #but that push through all of this in order to protect the people they love

//ableism mention tw

ok just gonna say something really quick: i absolutely hate Abe's characterisation in the reboot of Clone High because it is nothing like how he acted in season 1 and it just. isn't funny. they've turned this good-intentioned but flawed loser kid who just wants to be like the original Abraham Lincoln but doesn't know how to, into a self-centered and arrogant asshole who literally almost said a horrible ableist slur twice in the first episode. like. i'm being serious, he almost says the R-slur twice in the same minute and i dunno about you but i really don't find it very funny when a) the only "joke" behind it is "oh look at how bad Abe is compared to the more progressive sensitivities of the new generation of clones, isn't he just terrible", and b) they felt the need to completely rewrite a pre-existing character that fans are already attached to to do something against his own morals for the sake of a shitty joke, and c) TOPHER WAS RIGHT THERE!!! isn't he supposed to be the asshole or am i missing something?? like...

i'm not saying you can't have "edgy" or "dark" comedy or whatever, but personally, i don't find it very funny when a character that actually means quite a lot to me and is one of my favourites is twisted and rewritten into an arrogant asshole in an apparent attempt to appeal to the people who hate Abe for his flaws in the original show. especially when he's rewritten to be someone who would say a slur that's literally been used against my fellow disabled peers, myself included. it just feels... wrong. it actually hurts a lot to see a character i once loved and found to be one of the funniest and most important characters in the show be turned into an arrogant dick, with barely any thought or meaning put into him. i don't like what they did with the rest of the OG cast as well (such as Joan making a complete 180 in her entire character, JFK's character assassination, the removal of Gandhi, Cleo barely being in it etc.), but to me, they did Abe the dirtiest in this season and i'm really disappointed that one of my favourite shows had to continue like this :(

#clone high #abe lincoln #rant #sorry this post is a little heavier than what i usually post on here but i just felt like i really needed to say this #abe from clone high is actually quite an important character to me and i'm still upset that he's been written so poorly in season 2 #like he's a silly parody of a teen drama protag but honestly i think his struggles in the original series are actually really meaningful #like he's a little shy and doesn't exactly know how to express his ideas in the best way but wants to help and i just think that's so real #especially as someone who struggles with that myself #he has so much pressure to live up to the OG abraham lincoln and he really wants to be like him and tries but doesn't get it #i mean he even says something like that in episode 2 when joan and gandhi come to see him in his room and that's really relatable #so to see him so horribly misinterpreted as a selfish asshole really hurts me. #they've essentially done the thing where a fandom will tear apart the neurodivergent coded character #and write them off as selfish and arrogant and completely misinterpret everything about them #not saying that Abe is written to be neurodivergent but you get my point #it's kinda like that #he's relatable to me as an autistic person and a lot of his struggles are similar to what the autistic community experiences #also i'm sad that gandhi had to get removed because he's important to me too #he's actually one of my favourite ADHD reps on tv i've seen and he's just really funny #i know he was removed because people in India got offended and they probably don't wanna cause another incident like that again #but still it's such a shame he couldn't be included because he was a great character #also slightly unrelated but i think turning characters into a moral debate it stupid and often results in stuff like this happening #ableism mention #tw ableism mention

[biboybuckley]

the first episode of teen wolf is immaculate actually

stiles introduction, swinging down from god knows where while scott holds a bat to tell him that hey dude there’s a dead body in the woods let’s go find it

lydia’s character introduction and subsequent claiming of allison as her new best friend

coach. that’s it.

stiles’ lycanthropy joke and scott being completely clueless

derek’s introduction. that’s all i need to say.

“where are you getting your juice?” *confusion* “my mom does all the grocery shopping”

our first stiles research montage <333

derek’s “the bite is a gift” speech

the!! soundtrack!!!

and of course the inherent homoeroticism of it all

#also the incredible way they set up the rest of the show and the characters dynamics #anti scott mccall #just fyi #scott’s complete disregard of stiles trying to warn him and his immediate disdain for derek (for no reason???) #all he cares about is allison and his own image #just his innate selfishness which becomes his biggest flaw later on #god baby stiles’ face when scott slams him into the wall kills me every fucking time #and how it all sets up scott’s hatred of derek and hatred of born wolves #derek literally tries to warn scott that he’s a danger to allison and scott just refuses to believe him and blames him instead #his prejudice is there from episode one #like derek really just wanted to help scott but scott fucking refused to trust him because he’s a wolf and that must make him inherently bad #meanwhile stiles!! is just rolling with it!! he immediately makes it a we situation #god i could go on forever about this actually cause scott treats everyone around him (except allison) like absolute shit #teen wolf #talia rewatches teen wolf #you can ​mute that fyi cause this isn’t stopping anytime soon

[peapod20001]

question I thought of while at work because this is what I think of while at work (this and also "Luigi's Ballad" by Starbomb on repeat in my head

how in contact is T with Ellie, NY, and SF? is he just kinda ominously there in the background observing or what? also btw I think some of my favorite art you've ever made have been pieces of T and Felix

OK. SO. MANY HOURS OF THOUGHTS HAVE GONE BY SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER NOW LOL

For the most part yea! He’s just, observing from a distance, on occasion. He’s like the little voice in their heads that acts like a lil devil on their shoulders <3 whether or not they actually listen and act out what he says is up to them tho (they do end up listening to him eventually)

He’s the most involved yet completely absent father they could ever ask for!!

He doesn’t become like, a physical part of their lives until Felix fucking. Murders some bullies with Mason LMAO after that he would manifest physically more often and would have direct conversations with his kids

And!! I’m glad you like my drawings of the Father Daughter duo!! Their dynamic is a very interesting one to explore !!

Here!! Have an interaction!! :> (this would be after Felix kills those kids, and has very strong feelings about it)

Maybe if circumstances were different this reunion would be the start of something beautiful

#pea art #ask #about my ocs #oc Felix #oc Teuflisch #my art #traditional art #my ocs #ocs #oc #my oc #original character #original characters #my characters #hahahahahaha they’re so complicated #T is always conflicted between completely severing his relationship to his children so they don’t become like him #and becoming involved in their lives because he loves them so so much. and he knows they’re already screwed over just by being HIS kids #and he wants them to know someone will always love them in their entirety and not in spite of their flaws #he’s selfish for having them. but that’s what he is. he doesn’t want to be alone either

by pure evil accident taob zuko's current mental state is the exact same as the one ive been stuck in for the past few weeks and that's a bit funny to me. like i started writing this chapter months ago and knew what i was doing with it even longer ago and suddenly ive manifested it into reality. we are both facing the horrors rn

#when the angry character finally learns to acknowledge their rage not as its own problem but as a coping mechanism to the problem #& faces at once the relief of finding the source of all this anger & the horror of realising that the anger itself was never the final boss #and it leaves them in a depressive state where they actually MISS the anger because at least that was active and - in a sense - dignified #whereas this just feels stilted and mopey and like each day is passing and you're losing time doing nothing #but you cant shake it anyway and wow im no longer talking about zuko!!!! we stay embarassing ourselves over taob!!!! #like i realised just now while staring off into space stirring my tea that the reason this particular depressive episode has hit me so hard #(aside the fact it's been a pretty extreme one and my paranoia has rlly flared up to the point ive felt honest to god CRAZY lately haha) #is because it's so DIFFERENT to how i usually respond to feeling like this #like normally my temper gets very quick and i completely isolate and i get mean and sharp #and i convince myself that everyone is out to get me and/or hates me and therefore i must manipulate everyone in my life #and ofc NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE A GOOD RESPONSE. I AM NOT PROUD OF THEM #THEY ARE ALSO NOT NEARLY AS BAD AS HOW I USED TO BE HENCE I KNOW I AM GETTING BETTER #SLOWLY PAINFULLY WITH MY NAILS DIGGING IN THE DIRT BUT I AM GETTING BETTER ALL THE SAME #but STILL despite how awful those things are they're also very external. like i hurt the people around me in order to protect myself #and there's a dignity to that. there's more control there even if ultimately it's a lack of control causing it #like i have some fucked opinions from my upbringing and ik that like im quite a selfish person and it's bc i was raised to truly believe #that hurting others is always optimal over letting myself be seen as weak. like if my options are to hurt someone even someone i love #or let myself be vulnerable then sometimes i STILL will pick the former (it used to be all the time though <3 progress is progress) #and anger has always been sold to me as a very dignified STRONG emotion and it's how you're SUPPOSED to respond to badness #otherwise you're weak and a baby and pathetic etc etc #and just bc you know something is wrong doesnt mean you didnt internalise the fuck out of it anyway #like i will always see anger as the 'dignified' emotion and unlearning it regardless of that has been one of the hardest things ive done #('wow hella your own journey with mental illness is the literal exact same as taob zuko's-' i will hospitalise the both of us) #whereas currently ive just been sad and pathetic and oversharing to anyone who will listen and desperate for someone to look at me #and be like 'you're not okay' and to fix it FOR ME. like im not ANGRY im SAD and im not used to that response #AND GUESS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS THIS CHAPTER BY PURE FUCKING COINCIDENCE?? LITERALLY WHAT #like it's been happening for a few chapters that we're finally moving from anger to sadness on my unofficial healing chart #ever since zuko's outburst with hakoda when zi se had that tantrum #but this is the first time we see Sad Coping Mechanism as a response to a problem instead of Angry Coping Mechanism #taob updates

sorry I could talk for hours. I've done an insane amount of character building w Isaiah over the years

#like ive padded elias and melanies families too #part of me has been hankering to explore elias character more 👁️👁️ lo has been talking about doing a better timeline for hunter #and my kneejerk was that it would be a timeline where melanie raises isaiah and kicks elias out #but if melanie never died i think elias would be a LOT happier #he would still have a lot of toxic tendencies bc of the way his moms and sisters baby him and never say no to him #but melanie is by far the more bullheaded of the two so she would whip his ass into shape i think #in a timeline where theyre still married and happy isaiah would have his aunties on the wells side in his life 😭😭😭😭😭 #baby isaiah sitting in sawyers lap... shut up..... #i actually have a complete belief that if melanie was in his life theyd both be day drinkers together #like boy would be sipping with every meal just like his mom whos a silly drunk with a high tolerance #vs how elias rageful drinking makes him VERY stingy and self destructive around booze #like. melanie would be a huge positive impact but in a lot of ways she would probably nurture bad traits in isaiah #hed be a lot more selfish and nymphish and thats SAYING SOMETHING #a lot more dismissive of other peoples problems bc he doesnt feel desperate to be useful and whole by fixing other peoples issues #and would likewise out a lot less gravity into sleeping around bc he doesnt NEED to stay out of his house so hed have more fun w less care #which wouldnt rlly fly with the guys he usually ends up with 🤔 i wonder how it would change hunters influence in his life #hunter shaves his head in response to elias grabbing isaiah by it. that wouldnt happen! and he wouldnt have to spend sooo much time w ruben #who was his One And Only positive dad figure. that was a huge part of his life and influence! #then again melanie looooves hunters mom whos also around for this timeline so #they would both 👀 be spending a lot ofkf time in the reyes estate 👀 #isaiah and gideons relationship would also be a lot better! #melanies obsessed w gideons moms (high femme and dad butch) and isaiah wouldn't be so violent as a kid #HMMMMMM..... #much to think about #so much of isaiahs personality was scultped by his dads abuse and the people he sought comfort in #his whole life would be restructured

[mummer]

rhaenyra's such an ally for forcibly exiling her gay husband on a whim even though he explicitly wanted to stay with her just because she wants to get married to someone else. that was so nice of her, to do that, i guess

#idk man. just kind of weird framing on the show's part that's bugging me bc i know they had good intentions #and i prefer it to him just getting MURKED of COURSE #ALSO. WHAT ABOUT SEASMOKE? #corlys and rhaenys mourning for the rest of their lives bc she wanted to get remarried that badly. girl #hotd spoilers #im not gonna talk about this anymore hsjhskjdsjhk im glad hes alive but cmon its not much of a choice #also presumably its on pain of death or imprisonment like. He can literally never go home again lol. EVER #and ohhh yeah daemon's such a malewife [remarries like a couple weeks after his wife's death] #like yeah great. kind to her memory i suppose #and again all of this would be completely fine and even great if they were intentionally exploring the greyness of these characters #and the idea that that's a selfish choice #but they're not really Exploring it at all are they. its framed as like... if not triumphant than somewhat touching #which....... no?

[redstrewn]

I wonder if vere doesnt get w anyone bc its just too easy to stop caring about others (im projecting)

Edit: no hes probably too passionate for that. He doesnt wanna get w ppl bc he knows he'll be a slave to love probably.

His fatal flaw is wanting power so love would be a weakness

#lets gooooo selfish monstrosity #redstrewn talks #i can stop caring about things and people SO easily its honestly scary #i was only a little less obsessed w other fandom and characters as i am w touchstarved now. and now? i dont think abt them at all anymore #same w some people. some people i forget exist at all. #my exes? its so scary how once i let go of them i completely let go. like i dont feel anything at all. do i hate them? theres #something to hate w everyone but mostly i just dont CARE #shaking how ppl say the opposite of love is not hate but *indifference.* i am screaming. #vere is a hater thou. maybe he loves TOO much. #tbh maybe vere doesnt get w anyone bc hes scared of being TOO attached #maybe hes scared of being a slave to love bc he will ALWAYS be hungry and NEVER satisfied and he doesnt want to be under #the mercy of something else like that #yeah its probably more of that and not the shit i was projecting onto him lmfao #vere gives me the vibe of someone whos TOO passionate for things #hes fiery like that #hes too passionate he knows not to care abt people or else it will consume him. or something.

#girl help i thought it was a good idea to reread the comments on my elena-centric fic #and the bad takes on her character will be the end of me #*pats elena's head* i'm so sorry babygirl dw i love you sm you have no idea #me: *writes a fic that's all about how elena is self-centred and selfish but also extremely caring compassionate and kind* #*and how those don't automatically exclude each other but make for an absolutely fascinating character* #*then explains all my choices in an extremely long author's note* #some people: ugh elena is so horrible and evil bc she didn't *checks notes* let klaus use her as a blood bag to enslave werewolves #honourable mention to: #elena is the literal devil for falling in love with damon who raped and abused caroline #but caroline falling for klaus who killed and terrorised elena and many of her loved ones is something elena isn't allowed #to have negative feelings about??? #like ... they hurt each other with these choices. and that's fine. #whether the route we want to take is them breaking off their friendship over it #or learning to live with her friend's choice of boyfriend or dumping the boys completely and going off into the sunset together #let's just ACKNOWLEDGE that it's a fucked up situation and that that's what makes interesting #UGH i have too many feelings about the vampire love triangle show #ella originals

THERE'S SO MANY THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW!!! I adore this interaction bc up until this point Yuzu has been characterized as a selfish, scheming, and cruel woman. But she instead turns to comfort a dying man instead of sitting back and just watching.

It's the kind of thing I can imagine Sol would be, especially in a life-or-death scenario. Just a little off. All smiles and friendly, caring more for herself and staying out of needless conflict. She doesn't exactly care, if someone dies, they die. But the least she can do is show sympathy and allow at least a little closure to someone who is dying.

#Fawn Speaks || OOC #Chaotic neutral characters who are unapologetically cruel and show themselves to be completely and utterly selfish at first #and then show bits of humanity or even show the character to be more sympathetic then first realized #just GOD #MWUAH...... #spoilers tw #Hell's Para.dise spoilers #dude i really hate how images cant be grouped under keep reading things

[s0fter-sin]

finally figured out the reason it’s been difficult to get back into reading books after reading fic for so long is so many fantasy books are just self inserts and the mc has no personality beyond the bare minimum

#i dont want to imagine myself in the characters place #i didnt just spend 30 bucks for you to give me a long form imagine #i can do that by myself #i dont want a blank shell i want a character #like you read fics and they feel completely different depending on whos pov youre reading from #i think its why sp is still my favourite series despite it being ya #val is arrogant and selfish and she fucks up and doesnt get the boy she wants #her relationships constantly fail and theyre not the main point the plot always is #she has so many flaws and that helps serve the narrative #shes a character and im reading her experiencing things #not me vicariously experiencing things with the blandest possible reactions so i can pretend theyre my reactions #damn near every fantasy goes the same way #im new to this world/my powers and i need help/cant control them and the mysterious boy everyone tells me to stay away from and is super #mean to me has begrudgingly decided/is forced to help me and i discover hes only mean bc of tragic thing and he opens up to me #and the powers/world are never the point except that im secretly royalty and/or the chosen one that will end this war/battle without #really doing much #and i learn to master my powers by believing in myself and my emotions bc its 2023 and fem characters still have to fall into this trope #i want an interesting mc that drives the plot and is equal to the love interest #or better yet the love interest is so far in the background its only brought up in book 4 #lay some ground work for fucks sake theres no time limit this isnt a movie #heres hoping the bunch i bought the other day do that and get me back into it #or ill just re read the same four series ive been reading since i was 12 #and stick to fic as my main source of entertainment #it hasnt let me down so far #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt

Finnick is so funny to me because he has been 3 different guys. He was my first Tav that I gave up on late act 2, he was my most recent Bard Tav, and now he is my kelemvor paladin durge. Free him from this cycle of rebirth.

Sidenote should I actually post abt my OCs. I've had their notes app plot summaries sitting there waiting for me to get around to posting about them for like. Months

#i just keep making him edgier each time tryna get it so stick™️ #please please make this half-wood elf stay in my good graces #in the first game I hated looking at him bc I used that absolute chad elf face and could not take him seriously. why are you mewing rn #second time I liked him but he was also functionally the same guy as astarion. like. elven selfish survivalist #the kelemvor paladin is not only no longer ginger (thank god /s) but also a decent person this time. and will also be my honour mode run #so hopefully I won't get bored of him???? i liked paladins for my first (completed) tav run #finnick's past lives are Not Canon #he'll also be my gale ascension romance probably. unless the lae'zel pull is too strong bc he did part-romance lae'zel last time #before I deleted him. RIP that relationship #bg3 #original character

i will Not comment on posts with stupid takes about Ashton I will Not,

(proceeds to ramble in my own tags because idk where else to dump this)

#seeing people completely misinterpret ashtons actions and fearnes reaction #im not going to comment I'm not going to do it #but hello. they both wanted that kiss. was it not obvious #fearne saying 'well now i dont know if i want to do this' because ashton just kissed her before doing something #that might kill them #she was WORRIED #she's mad at them because she cares! we've seen her react with anger to other people she cares about! #ashley has Said fearne doesn't know how to navigate emotions in this plane because they're much stronger than in the fae realm #on top of that. ashton didn't do it out of selfishness #he did it because fearne didn't want to and they felt responsible #they trust her. she trusts him. they discussed it multiple times #and ashton did Not manipulate her with 'this is the only one you get' #that was for themself. because what he was going to do was dangerous #he wasnt Taking anything from Fearne nonconsensually. #they've both been dancing around their little crush for ages #Ash is the Only person Fearne gets flustered over when flirting #she's seduced a dead pirate. wooed a devil. slept with chetney and deanna to get them back together #but with ashton she's much more careful in navigating that attraction #it's all Been there. they've been slowburning it. and it works #because they're both extremely emotionally volatile characters #but that's also Why they're good together #I'm sure if fearne hadn't wanted that kiss the reaction would have been MUCH different #it wouldn't have been a worried 'oh no' #she can handle herself. if she hadnt wanted it im sure ashton would have gotten smacked #and the kicking afterwards wasnt because of the kiss #maybe partially in the sense of 'you just kissed me and almost DIED and i am both furious and sad about almost losing you' #but not bc fearne was 'taken advantage of'. get out of here with that
